Make Your New Year’s Resolution to Brush Like a Dentist!

January 6, 2017Dakota DentalDental Tips
Happy New Year from all of us at Dakota Dental! Our team of Apple Valley dentists enjoyed a very relaxing holiday season and we’re ready to help make 2017 the best year for your dental health.

Each January, millions of Americans make resolutions to lose weight, save money, and eat healthier. This year, why not make a new year’s resolution that’s easy and affordable to achieve instead? Improving your oral health and hygiene is a cost-effective and simple way to boost your health in the new year.

Regular brushing and flossing is an easy habit to develop and our family dentists are happy to keep you on track. To get started on the right track in 2017, brush your teeth like a dentist by sticking to these easy tips:

  • Pick the Right Brush – Always select a toothbrush with soft bristles. Depending on the size of your mouth, you may opt for a brush with a larger or smaller head. Try several sizes and find which one is most comfortable for you!
  • Take Your Time: You should brush your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes each time. Many electric toothbrushes have built in timers to track this for you. Another good way to time yourself is to listen to a pop song while brushing as they are typically between 2-3 minutes long.
  • Know When to Change: When the bristles on your toothbrush become bent, discolored, or dirty, it’s time to get a new one.
  • Massage Don’t Scrub: Many people make the mistake of brushing too hard believing the more they push the whiter their teeth will get. This actually does more harm than good. Think about massaging your teeth by brushing up and down instead of scrubbing them from left to right. Also, don’t forget to brush the inside of your teeth as well!

 

Give yourself an attainable new year’s resolution by making 2017 the year you transform your smile. Get your new year off to a great start by scheduling an appointment with the family dentists at Dakota Dental today!
